Our room was in the main block room 1517 (5th floor which was top) and suffered with noise coming from room 1515, these rooms had an internal door (most likely for the cleaners to use or possibly to allow families to have adjoining rooms) which was allowing the TV, music, voices etc. to be heard at all hours of the night.
After putting up with this for 3 nights we went and complained to the reception desk but were asked to call them if it happened again which it did the next night at gone 1am so they were called and said they'd send someone but I'm sure they just called the room as I heard their phone ring, next morning I went back to reception, they moved us to room 1506 which had no internal door and there was no more noise problem.
Other than the above, the rooms were good and appear to have been recently refurbished but the beds a quite firm and none of these rooms had a balcony or view.
The breakfast buffet was good and loads of options to cater for everyone but we didn't eat any other meals in the hotel as we preferred to go to the nearby restaurants.
The rooms we stayed in are in the main block which also has the roof top pool and we only used this pool during our stay, the other main pool looked busier with families but as ever getting a provided beach towel and reserving sunbeds before 9:30am was a must.
The roof top pool was clean and regularly checked for PH levels etc.
The hotel is in a good location with just a short walk to the main area and walking street but not too close and it's directly opposite the beach, it also has some shops, bars & restaurants at the front and rear of the building.
The hotel has quite a grand feel to it in the main foyer but it really needs renovating, even just re-painting would help and also the gym could really do with an upgrade, it's fairly small given the size of the hotel and could do with some additional equipment.
The wifi worked fine in the rooms and in the restaurant but by the roof top pool it wasn't always available which really shouldn't be that difficult to fix.
Overall we'd possibly use this hotel again but probably wouldn't stay for so many nights as we also stayed in nearby Karon beach which is only a 15min drive away.
Although our room was very clean, the access to the pool required considerable maintenance, as it has missing tiles and the spa had non functioning jets in more than half of the area of the spa section.
The pool itself in the sunset section is a good size and although it was clean on most days there were a couple of occasions where we observed faeces and tissue paper drifting about the water near our room, which made us think twice about taking a dip.
The main spa in the sunset section is non operational and the sun loungers are tired with many missing wheels and deflated cushions.
The sunset rooms balcony access to the pool is very slippery when wet and no steps are proved to enter in and out of the pool, making it a little dangerous. (they ask you to sign a waiver upon check regarding any accidents you may encounter in the pools).
The reception staff are a little unwelcoming upon arrival, with the overall process being slow and unorganised, especially if you have just endured an 8 hour flight. Over my many trips to Phuket over the last 15 years I have always been very warmly welcomed and offered a cool drink/towel at check in, sadly not here where you are directed to take a seat in the lobby and wait an unacceptable time to be assisted.
The breakfast buffet does not offer enough tables to accommodate the large resort and on most mornings our party of guests had to clear up others grotty plates, in order to secure a seat. The selection of food is large but unfortunately of low quality compared to other, less expensive resorts I have stayed at in Patong. If I stayed here again I’d forego adding breakfast and go elsewhere to eat.
On a positive note the beds and pillows are very comfortable and we had fresh, clean linens provided daily. The rooms are large and the bathroom/shower facilities are of good quality.
The beautiful Thai lady who cleaned our room did an exceptional job every day, which made our stay more enjoyable.
There is fantastic air conditioning in the rooms and the balconies are large and shaded.
The security team at the front entrance are terrific people who always offered a friendly greeting with a smile and made us feel safe within the resort, as did the grounds, cleaning and pool staff.
With some improvements to the check in processes, maintenance/fabric upgrades and food service (breakfast) this resort has the potential be amazing.
The hotel is in a good location, approx 10-15min walk from Bangla road and directly across the road from Patong Beach. The hotel offers different daily exercise classes at 9:30am (ie: pilates, yoga, strength etc) and a variety of pool and kids club activites (Monday through to Saturday). The hotel gym is well equipped and there are plenty of restaurant/cafe options, pools and several swim up pool bars. Whilst the pools and surrounding areas (including the pool towels) are in need of updating and refurbishment, they are clean and maintained throughout the day. There is also a spa, gift/beauty shop, tour office and business rooms/facilities available although we did not need to utilise any of these.
In general, we found all of the staff friendly and accommodating particularly the housekeeping and maintenance staff.
Breakfast had a great variety although the main restaurant was very busy between 9am-10:30am where it was difficult to get a table. However, you can always eat at the Sunset Restaurant for breakfast and we never had any trouble getting a table here.
We would agree that the hotel is quite outdated, run down and in need of maintenance altough we noted that renovations/refurbishments were taking place while we were there. Our friends rooms (Deluxe rooms in Block 3) had been updated however we were in Block 4 (pool view rooms that were interconnecting) and our rooms had obviously not yet been done as they were outdated, had very poor Wifi in the rooms and our TV did not work very well. However, the rooms were clean, relatively spacious and had everything we needed. Housekeeping also did a fantastic job of cleaning our rooms everyday and replacing our towels (and bed linen if requested).
Overall, we found this hotel good for the price and location and we would stay again.
Whilst I’d paid for the sunset room I swapped on arrival as I prefer the share and access steps into this pool better. I felt the sunset room has no steps to get in/out at your pool so for me I prefer just stepping into the pool as I like to lounge on my patio beds.
Again the staff were amazing, everyone remembered me from May. Check in/reception excellent and accommodated a late check out to 5pm because we fly at night.
Breakfast is the best in patong and the staff made all my food fresh and kept fruit for me aside every morning as I have food allergies. Even when I missed breakfast I woke up to my regular meal at our door, that’s how wonderful they were.
Room attendant for house keeping did a great job, I always tell them our needs at the start and she did this every day to a high level of service.
Whilst the locations a little bit further on the beach front gracelands pools are spectacular and we loved our time here.
The room: 2328 (building 3, 2nd floor) bed was very comfy, there was a Queen & a double bed in our room. Pillows were awesome. We had a huge bath which I loved. Lovely shower with overhead shower head or use the wall shower head. The usual supplies of bottled water daily, shampoo/conditioner, soap etc. safe in the room, had bath robes & slippers (we didn’t use). Had trouble working the light switches every night ….. you’ll know what I mean if you’ve stayed here!
The pools: were all lovely. You can get drinks at the pools and only 2 have a swim up pool bar. I think a couple had toddlers areas. They have happy hour 4-6pm with delicious cocktails!
Breakfast: Very busy but lots of good choices to suit all nationalities. We sat outside a couple of times. I heard you can have the same breakfast at Sunset Restaurant too (would be a better choice overlooking the beach)
Location: Across from the beach where you can hire beach chairs all day for 100 baht. It’s a bit of a walk to Bangla Rd & there’s the usual 7 eleven, massage places, shops, restaurants pretty close by. 200 baht for a Tuk Tuk to go anywhere in Patong. Out in the lane way there’s a lady with a cart making banana pancakes, do try one! There’s also a couple of little restaurants & a massage place where you can get your laundry done really cheaply.
My room was located in the Sunset Deluxe area and I really appreciated its design and the smart TV with YouTube access, though the TV remote control was a bit weird (I found my way with it mostly by hazard).
I also liked that breakfast was served from 6 am, which was very practical for guests who like me left very early on day trips to the islands. Cocktails were very cheap by European standards. The maracuja one is worth trying, they use real fruits and not syrup as in other places.
A mention also for the hotel staff, as they were very professional and helpful.
I saw that many of the previous comments were complaining about the old state of the hotel. That is true, but extensive renovation works are underway. Some buildings had already been repainted and the pool bar in the Sunset area is brand new. I will probably return to Graceland to see the results of the renovation works.
